I would love to - never been to RubyConf. Depends on a number of factors :-)

I'd love to go but SF is a bit far for me when I'm all out of leave.

I actually registered for it and am planning to go, yes. Love to keep
track of what those guys are working on.

I'm really interested in going. Will talk to "the boss" and if they will pay, I really might go. Even tho I had expected to stay home this year and focus on iPhone app development in my off time, it looks like a great agenda. More on Monday I guess.

Shoot, I couldn't get work to pay for my ticket last time, much less room and flight.

Looks like it's sold out already. There's a waiting list: http://www.regonline.com/Checkin.asp?EventId=774614

a company that pays for their employees to travel during these economic conditions is either well positioned for recessions... or ... well, if they pay for you to go, stay with that company. :)

To late now I guess. But yea, Decisiv is a great company. Typically our product is more popular in economic downturns since it focuses on efficiencies.

I wonder what the waiting list is like. Has anyone heard?

RubyConf 2007 wasn't exactly in the worst of times... Plus travel was paid for - i was just asking for paid time off and/or the price of the ticket.

Find out. Nothing lost.

I think a few years ago I was wait listed. It actually only
lasted a couple weeks or so.

Later,

Yeah, I think Chad and Rich were honestly surprised how fast it sold
out. Rich tweeted that they are working on expanding the venue if
possible.

OK, sad but true... I am definitely not going.

Perhaps I just saved myself from airplane swine flu. Bright side. But
I would have really like to go. Ya'll have a good time.
